Granisol Overview

Updated: July 28, 2016

Granisol is a prescription medication used to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy and radiation. Granisol belongs to a group of drugs called serotonin 5-HT3 antagonists, which block serotonin, a natural chemical in the body, from causing nausea and vomiting.

Granisol is an oral solution and is taken 1 hour before chemotherapy or radiation, and in the case of chemotherapy, may be taken again 12 hours later.

Common side effects include headache, constipation, and diarrhea. Granisol can cause drowsiness. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how it affects you.
